I applied in-person. I interviewed at 1st Light Energy (Manteca, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
The interview was a simple question, code the Fibonacci sequence iteratively and recursively. The interviewer also asked a few questions about background and personality too. Overall the interview was not too difficult in a technical way.

Question 1
Code the Fibonacci sequence iteratively and recursively
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at 1st Light Energy (West Jordan, UT) in Dec 2018
Interview
Soon after applying, I received a call from an employee who, after an interview, explained that they wanted to move forward with my application. He gave me the number for a supervisor who he claimed is the ideal supervisor and praised his leadership ability. I got a call from the supervisor, who verbally offered me the job, and explained that we would work out the details within a few months and that HR would send me the paperwork within a day. The paperwork never came; I called every week to check-in. The first two times he explained he would check on it, and the next few times he ignored my calls and emails about continuing the hiring process. Being that I am an out of state applicant, it was especially important for me to have my hiring information in advance to apply for apartments and make my move. The sincerity I received in my job offer call proved deceitful and turned out to be disingenuous and disrespectful. My advice to the firm: Be honest with your candidates: if you make a verbal offer and then realize you can’t move forward with the candidate, give them the courtesy of a phone call or email, and maybe give them a reference to other firms. Callously disregarding candidates is not only unprofessional, it’s embarrassing, and demonstrates a pathetic lack of courage to deliver bad news.
